Fingerhut terrible customer service

I signed up for fingerhut on Nov 24, 2010. I was immediatly approved and given a $250 credit limit. That same day, I ordered 6 feather down pillows and a new King Size Bedding set. I received the items on Dec. 3rd 2010, my "free gift" arrived 2 days later (it was 2 christmas stockings, actually quite cute).

My only complaint is there customer service (the products they sell could be higher quality too, but thats what you get when you pay for the convience of monthly payments). Anyways, the day AFTER I ordered my items, I tried signing in again to see if they had anything else I wanted (I still had about $100 credit remaining and intended to pay them in full on my 1st due date) but I couldn't sign in!

I tried over and over, but my email address was not REGISTERED anymore! I called a few days later, and they told me they had a problem with their website and it would all be corrected. 2 weeks later, and it STILL isn't working! In fact, my email address is now registered to someone else's account! I plan on calling them again soon, we'll see what happens. But I don't expect much from people who can hardly speak english. I don't mind overseas customer service.. but they should at LEAST understand basic english and be understandable. People with intense thick indian accents should not work the phones.

Other than that, I was pretty pleased with my items. My comforter is soooo warm, my pillows are nice and soft (altho the feathers like to stick you occasionally). Fingerhut is what it is. If you can't afford to buy something outright at Walmart or wherever, than this is probably your best option. I am only doing it to improve my credit score and buy a few things here and there that I can't afford to buy outright while I'm in school and planning a wedding.

Fingerhut false advertisement

Over the year I have received several catalogs from Fingerhut stating I was preapproved for credit. The credit was different with each catalog ranging from three hundred to four hundred dollars. I never placed an order until November 15 I placed an order of what was supposed to be Christmas gifts. After waiting for two weeks and making two phone calls to inquire about my order I received an email stating I had been denied. This is bad business. I want removed from the mailing list. Apparently their idea of preapproved is not the same as mine.

Credit card companies do this as well. Pre-approved is different from approved.

Fingerhut - fraud

FINGERHUT gave my brother and his wife James+Beth Shelton of Dayton, Ohio credit usuing my name and ssi to buy items from their catalog, this is fraud and theft at its worst. I never gave anyone permission, they stole my identity, they bought space heaters, boombox and mattress, I have contacted the company, they will give anyone credit without checking...

Fingerhut order/customer service

I had never ordered from this company before, but remember my parents getting their catalogs as a child. This year, I recieved a catalog for Christmas, with a offer of credit. I ordered a personalized ring for my mother-in-law for Christmas out of their "Holiday Big Book". At the time of order, I made clear to the rep that this was a gift for an out of state relative, that I needed to be sure of delivery. I was told at that time that I could expect a max wait of 2 weeks for a personalized item, so i went ahead and placed the order. A day later, I called back to see if I could chage the size because I had accidentally ordered a size small. I was told at that time that if they cancelled my order, it could take up to 60 days to get my refund. That rep assured me that I would have the product in hand within 10 business days and suggested I take it to a jeweler and have it sized if I could not wait the 60 days for my refund. I called their joke of a customer service number tonight (12 business days) after the second phone call and was told that they have a shipping date of December 26 and that I should recieve it 2-3 days after that. As I was passed up the line of management, I was told that I could not get a refund because the item was already shipped, even though not 5 minutes before they had told me it wouldn't ship until the 26th. When I pushed on the shipping issue, I was told that they would not provide me with any kind of tracking number nor would they give me their "vendor's" information so that I could try to contact them directly. They also tried to say that because this item is coming from an outside vendor, that they could not refund this purchase, which is absolutely ridiculous, they took the money out of my checking account within 2 days and I am sure they would be able to put it back in the same amount of time(thank God I did not go with the credit they offered me). This has all left me in a situation where I am out over $150 and with no gift and all I got from their customer service was a "We can do that because your order already shipped", "We are sorry for your inconvenience", "Your order will not ship until December 26th, nothing we can do about that because it ships from the vendor." Am I alone thinking this sounds like a load of bull's feces? Can't refund my money because it already shipped, but it won't ship until almost 3 weeks from now? My advice to anyone reading this post is to NEVER do business with these people...you are doing yourself a favor and saving a lot of frustration if you take this advice.

I agree never do business with FINGERHUT! I ordered some things payed some $$ upfront, waited 10 days and never got an email to confirm the items shipped, called them to see what was happening. Ma'am your order was cancelled...! What! Why? She never answered my question as to why it was cancelled...Then she wanted me to re-order over the phone but come to find out all of the items were out of stock. It's just a waste of time to do business with them. THUMBS DOWN FOR FINGERHUT!

I ordered a coffee pot and received it fast...however, it stopped brewing 42 days after I purchased it. I called Fingerhut and they told me it was beyond 30 days and I had to contact the manufacturer. Are you kidding me? 42 days? I work for a customer service and no way would we send the consumer to the distributor in such a short period of time. Black & Decker was great..I had to send them the cord to the coffee pot and a check for $7.50 and I received the new pot in a couple weeks. I emailed Fingerhut I wanted $10.00 credited back to my account - $7.50 I had to send B&D and 3.00 to mail the cord to B&D. They sent me a copied version of their return policy. I told them to close my account. They replied "I hope it's not anything we did". Idiots. Read the email before you send a copied reply.
I've read some other complaints here and because I am in a customer service, there's a couple I actually understand why Fingerhut did that. My company cannot cancel an order once it's placed either. It's hard to understand, but once that order is submitted and in the plants system, we can't pull it back. It some cases, we go out of our way by calling the plant and they hand pick the package off the dock, but of course that's going above and beyond and very time consuming for the employees. Back to Fingerhut, I won't do business with them again.

I had the same thing happen to me (almost) I canceled my order not even 7 hours later and they claimed that they couldn't cancel it even tough the item had not been shipped out yet. The order came and now I can't get anyone to tell me how to ship it back. I don't want to pay for shipping because I canceled the order before it was shipped. Does anyone know how to ship this without paying the shipping cost. I ordered on cyber Monday so shipping was free but to return the item they want $65.00 that is ridiculous.

My balance was 57 dollars now with all that you have tacked on it is $206. My payment should not be late since I spoke with a gentleman and agreed to have $10 taken out of my account every month. I really don' have another fifty words to write excep that this is messing up my credit and I really do not appreciate that. Please find out where this charge came from and remove it from my account. Also as I arrange with the gentlemen please take 10 dollara from my account each month so that i am marked late

I ordered several items fro Fingerhut to give as Christmas gifts. So far I have received duplicates of four of the items ordered, one was the wrong size, and the rest of my order is yet to arrive. When I called the toll-free number they at first told me it was their mistake and they would send me postage-paid labels to return the unwanted items. Within five minutes, a representative called me back telling me I had ordered the same items twice(which I did not) and that I would be responsible for the shipping charges, which amount to about $110.00 as they are large boxes. Could it be they do this on purpose, knowing most people will keep the unwanted items to avoid the hassle and cost of shipping them back? I am seriously considering donating the unwanted items to charity... in any case, Fingerhut has lost a customer. I will never use or recommend their "services" again.

I have been a very loyal customer of Fingerhut since it's inception in the early 1960's. I'm sick of you telling me you will approve one order and not the next even when you list I have enough credit to cover my current order. You know what go fornicate yourself up the wazoo and I will never have another thing to do with Finger-something. I hope you follow all the other big cheating, lying businesses and go bankrupt. Or you could ask for a government bail out and see how far that gets you. Merry fuc...g Christmas if this is the way you treat loyal customers then it's the last order you ever got from me. If anything said on your posted email sight is defamation or libel is a legal threat and cannot be defamation or libel if the the info stated is true.

I received an offer for a "free" ring by Holstead Jewlers where I only had to pay for shipping and handling which was conveniently billed to my fingerhut account. I received the ring, paid the bill and then received another bill in the mail from fingerhut for $56. My father had purchased some items on my account so I thought that was his bill - which he paid in full. A few days later, I received another piece of jewlery from Holstead and realized they would be sending me a piece of jewlery a month and charging it to my fingerhut account and THAT was what the $56 charge was. I contacted Holstead to cancel any further shipments and sent the jewlery back for a refund. A few weeks later I recieved a notice from Holstead saying that although they recieved my cancellation it was too late to hold back a SECOND piece of jewlery (which was recieved the SAME day that I received the cancellation notice) I promptly sent BACK that jewlery and checked my fingerhut account - not only was the credit NOT applied but a second charge of $56 was now on my account. I contacted Fingerhut to tell them that charge was not authorized and please remove it. NO DICE, I was informed I had to contact Holstead to get the refund. I did. I waited a week and still neither refund was applied to my account. I contacted Fingerhut again and told them once again I was informed I had to go through Holstead. I called Holstead and filed a rather large and loud complaint whereupon the end result was I was to be issued both refunds in full - however Holstead is adament that the first refund was sent on June 4 and should have taken no more than 3 days to be in the acccount but that it could take up to TWO billing cycles to hit my account - this is unsatisfactory as the second amount should have never been IN my account to begin with and when I informed Fingerhut customer service their attitude amounted to too bad so sad you'll have to wait oh and you'll have to pay the minumum so as to not affect your credit. This caused me to close my account with Fingerhut. Meanwhile I am out $56 that was already paid to both Fingerhut AND Holstead and I have nothing to show for it. I am informing anyone and everyone I know about the terrible service I was given, if this had been done on a "real" credit card, the charge would have been removed and I wouldn't have to pay another DIME for a product I don't have nor want.

Fingerhut too expensive

They always send me pre-approved catalogues. Only place they go is the trash can. I mean, some of the items in their catalogues I have found $50-$60 cheaper at other stores. And Ebay I have found items $80 cheaper. Why am I gonna order from their over-priced catalogue when I can just drive to a local department store or go on Ebay and buy the same items they have for almost half-price? They need to wake up. Don't they know the economy is bad. People ain't got money, we need deals if we're gonna buy.

Fingerhut trouble posting online payments

Everyone who has an account with Fingerhut...pay close attention to your account! This is not the first time this has happened to me. I always make my monthly payments, online, around the first of the month for a payment that is not due until the third week of the month. In other words, my payments have always been made early. But their accounting system is still in the horse & buggy days and they have four times now not recorded my payment. Eventually it gets straightened out, but I have to wonder, since it has happened so many times, if this is a sneaky way for them to get extra monthly operating cash. Has this happened to other people? I will pay off my account (with checks from now on!) and not do any more business with them.

Fingerhut billing sent to wrong address but charged $24.9

Received a call my account was past due. I said I had not received a bill for February. Learned Fingerhut had mailed it to the wrong address.

All previous bills were sent to PO Box 541, Taft, Ca 93268. But for whatever reason the February bill was sent to 112 Oak St, Taft, Ca. My street address where mail is never received

I was told I would have to pay $24.90 late fee although Fingerhut was in ERROR.

A man whom I spoke to and requested a supervisor kept putting me off. I had to repeat my address four times before he understood as he spoke very poor english. A detailed letter will follow. VERY PISSED.

Fingerhut shipping overcharge

Fingerhut shipping overcharge.. Is based on the number of item's you purchase,, if you buy one item @ 149.99 the charge is $13.99. You buy 10 item's totaling the same the shipping charge is 10 x $13.99. Ups,, usps (Us post ofc), federal express, none of these agree with these charge's because if they ship one box with 6 item's you charged as though it was 6 shipment's.

Consumer beware,, this is fraud.

Fingerhut money owed

They call several times a day sometimes as late as 9pm claiming we owe them money on something we purchased. This is impossible because we only use debit to pay for purchases. When we ask what we supposedly owe on they decline to tell us saying that they can't give that information to us. This is nothing but a scam. We put our number on the do not call list but it does nothing because it doesn't stop bill collectors even if the bills don't exist.

Fingerhut has been harassing us for years about a debt of over $300 dollars that we supposedly owe. I never even heard of fingerhut until finally after a year of calls with no one on the other end, someone from a collection agancy identified themselves. I have never ordered anything on credit and after a lengthy ordeal they finally agreed that it was no me who purchased the item...I still do not know what it was. I was promised that I would be taken off the call list...I was temporarily and then the collection letters and calls began again. This is simple harassment. What can be done?

Fingerhut rude, rip-off

I ordered a large wedge pillow from this company to help me sleep after surgery. I thought with a 30 trial period, if I dint like it I could send it back. Well, thats where it gets tricky. The pillow cost $99 they charged me $35 to ship it to me. My "free gift" was broken and after about a week I sent it back. At that point I realized I had to pay to return it. $40.00 Then when they recieved they called me the day after I was suppose to pay for it had I kept it and told me I still owed the $35. it cost them to ship to me, plus a late fee of $4. I thought I was done. I had returned the item within the 30 days, but no...I still owed and the rude man who informed me of all this was a complete jerk. Long story short. Always read everything before you buy.

Fingerhut rude phone collectors

Received a call from a representative of Fingerhut. Said my $7.50 monthly payment was late. My balance is $34.87. Told her my mail has been messed up do to forwarding and forwarding back to our home after a 3 month leave.
She starts screaming. "yes, your last two bills came back" and asked me why that is happening. I told her I just explained that to her. She then screamed it was no reason to be late. That I should have realized it was due. (ok)
Told her I would probably take care of it online later in the evening. She screamed again, "Mrs.XXXX, what does the word probably mean"?
Now she has me upset, and I told her to look it up in the dictionary and I hung up on her. This rep has no right to talk to customers like that. I wrote two emails to the customer service department complaining about the treatment I received and you can guess, there were no replys! I asked them to remove me from all mailings. Does anyone know how I can stop the catalog mailings?

Just because a catalog comes in the mail, it doesn't mean that you have to look at it. I threw my catalogs away just as soon as I got them. After awhile they just stopped coming.

Fingerhut product I didn't order

Received a bill from Fingerhut for a service I did not order. It was an insurance policy with AIG CD INS. I called AIG and tried to cancel it, telling them I did not order the insurance and did not want it. I was treated very rudely.
I then called Fingerhut and told them I did not want the insurance and that I had already talked with AIG. Fingerhut told me that I had to pay the minimum for two months as that is as long as it would take to get it off my account and if I didn't, it would affect my credit rating.
I cancelled my account with Fingerhut which i have had for many years and filed a complaint with Better Business Bureau.

You can write the corporate office to issue a sales dispute and request cancellation in writing. They will pull the recording from the call. If you did not accept the policy when offered, or accept a copy to review for the free whatever time frame they got, you will get a full refund. As a tip from a former employee, make sure you ask to hear the recording yourself. If you do not, then they will send you a letter saying whatever they want.

Fingerhut bad service

Ok Fingerhut has gone too far..I ordered a RCA TV from them and sent it to my Daughter, her Partner and their Friend..for their Friends Christmas surprise..it was suppose to be delivered by Yellow Transportation..while it only took about 3 days to reach Florida from up North..Yellow proceeded to hold their tv hostage..for 5 days they were promised delivery and told lie after lie until finally they threatened to have me cancel the order..only then did Yellow agree to allow my Daughter, her Partner and their Friend meet them where the delivery man "broke down" (btw we do NOT believe that story for one second not after the numerous lies and broken promises from this so called delivery service) yes, they ended up having to meet the driver to obtain the tv..I paid $100 for that tv to reach their home NOT be delivered to a public parking lot which btw I should add ruined their Christmas surprise..I informed Fingerhut of the propblems Yellow gave them and they apologized and offered me a (GASP) $20 voucher..I informed them I no longer wanted Yellow delivering any of my future orders plus I wanted a partial (at least $50) refund for the shipping if not a full refund, they have not answered my email..when I received their lousy offer (Prior to my sending my request) I decided to post a review I gave the tv a excellent review for my Daughters Friend is thrilled with her new tv, but I warned Fingerhut buyers about the crappy service offered by Yellow and informed them they need to avoid Yellow at all costs..well, surprise surprise Fingerhut refuses to allow my review to be posted..therefore I am now going to pay off my account and if they do not remove that shipping charge or lower the amount by at least $50 I will..they should be aware I am a senior citizen and have only a monthly SS check coming in so if I decide to forgo what I owe them completely they would be sool..reduce that shipping charge FH by $100..Yellow did NOT earn that money not with their broken promises and outright lies! It's your choice keep me as a paying/buying customer or lose me due to a dishonest shipping service who will only piss off more customers in the future! Your choice!

in feb. I was granted a $4oo credit. I charged approx. 75. on a PRE-APPROVED credit. A month later, I still waited for the item. I finally reached customer service, I was told "it was not appproved" I argued the issue eplaining preapproved is not pre qualified and it was a gaurenteed offer. she would not put a supervisor on line. I explained FINGERHUT was comitting fraud by this offer. which it surly is. Sadly I need the item but I would not give FINGERHUT one red cent and I wll tell anyone who listens how they are preying on people who need a break in bad econimic times PLEASE PAY THIS FORWARD

Fingerhut overpriced product

Fingerhut is a scam they sell the ipod nano for $249.99 when everyone else sells for $149.99. I sent and email and got no response for a week so I called. They could not give me a reason why they sell higher and acted like a asked a hard question, the first lady trans. me to her supervisor because she did not know what to say. The supervisor said that they sell the same as other customer I told her no you sell for $100, asked if she can check if they mismarked she said that was the price.. I closed my acct. right away. They seem to over charge for items and people don't even know if they don't compare with other websites.

Fingerhut does not claim to offer the lowest prices. Fingerhut claims to offer credit to most people who can get credit any other way. If you are in a position to shop elsewhere you should.

The entire point of these catalog vendors is to let people make impulse buys when they are on the toilet. Its not a scam to charge more money, unless they are making claims as to the prices of other retailers. In this age, its easy enough to just go online and check the price for anything, fingerhut and similar vendors rely on a shrinking customer base of people who are too lazy do actually do some research on products or who are strapped for time and need some kind of gift shipped right away. The catalogs are fun to zip through for ideas on what to buy, but theres no way im paying those ridiculous prices for products that are commonly available

Fingerhut they sell crap jewelry

Wedding set bought in Nov 07, started wearing in Dec 07. In May the diamond tier fell off, had it repaired myself. In June the band broke in two. I called to try and exchange it, they tell me there is only a 30 day return policy. I told her since I didn't want a credit, I only wanted to exchange it, they should extend the policy due to the item being jewelry (14K Jewelry!). They refused. That's crap when it comes to jewelry, they should last longer 6months. They refuse to work anything out. I will never do business with them again. Worst company, worst policies, crappy merchandise!

Fingerhut collection calls for a balance I don't owe

I have received many calls from them regarding an open account. They claim I owe them $500. I gave them the last 4 digits of my SSN which didn't match and my address which also didn't match. Apparently, I have the same name as someone who skipped on them. I am sending them a certified letter copying our state dept of consumer affairs instructing them not to call me any more. If that doesn't work, I'll find an attorney who will sue them for harassment. Maybe that will work. All the collections were from India they don't even use Americans.

I recvd a letter from RJM ACQUISITIONS FUNDING LLC regarding an account my deceased mother had "15 years ago". Of course, the charge amount is out of control plus the years were wrong.
